(Sequel to "For the Sake of Love?".) Smolder considers moving back to the dragon lands, but Ocellus has just accepted an offer to teach at the School of Friendship. Can Ocellus convince Smolder to stay with her in Ponyville?
Ocellus is trapped in a palace infested with a brood of love-starved changelings and their queen who are intent on using her only way home as a means to invade her world.
(Takes places roughly around "Student Counsel".) Ocellus' identity issues are causing her more than a few sleepless nights, good thing Smolder is there to help her. But what if it's something beyond friendship that's making the dragon eager to help?
While her three lovers are spending their winter vacations with their families, Smolder spends that time in her room reflecting on the loves she is missing.
Smolder has a thing for Ocellus. She has had it for a long time, but each time she is given the opportunity to profess her feelings, she chickens out and swears next time will be the one. Hopefully this one will be the one.
The winter's cold has triggered Smolder's hoarding instincts. It's up to Ocellus alone to enter Smolder's makeshift lair to see if she can get past her instincts to connect to the dragon beneath.
Ocellus isn't feeling so great. After she and her friends harnessed the magic of Harmony to save the world yet again, she’s still got essays and final exams and graduation prep to do. And now she’s being betrayed by her own body.
Smolder and Ocellus try to talk to their friends about their relationship. It does not go well. A sequel to “Midnight Rendezvous” by RainbowDoubleDash and “We Finally Did It” by Rated Ponystar.
